All the President's Spin—12:17 PM
The gi-normously tall Ben Fritz is one of the honchos over at spinsanity.org, and he's also one of the group that I regularly beat at poker. (He beats me with greater regularity, but that isn't the point.) Anyway, he and the spinsanity gang have a new book out today. I haven't read it yet, because nobody gave me a free copy. Maybe we can rectify that...
It's called All the President's Spin and it "unmasks the tactics of deception and media manipulation that George W. Bush has used to sell his agenda to the American people." (And claims to do so in a non-partisan fashion! Read more information like the quote above at spinsanity's page for the book.) Ben has written for Salon and Variety, so you know he's a pro. I don't know the other two co-authors, but if Ben chose them to be on his website, we can assume they're pretty good.
I figure all but one of you might be interested, so I'm posting a link at the left to help you find the book on Amazon. I'll leave it up until I get tired of looking at it. (Book review forthcoming, as soon as someone gives me a copy!)
